Nilah nodded simply, getting pretty much everything he needed to know. he let the magic fade from his eyes before readied to depart with the others.

To Londar's Mansion
Londar Brightrain's mansion is a little ways northeast of Hampton Hill and is surrounded by the Horrik Forest, a light forest dotted with rocky ravines and gullies that is relatively easy to travel through. The easiest and safest route to the mansion heads east along the Horrik Trade Path until reaching the dirt road leading to the mansion. The cobblestone Horrik Trade Path is a quite busy roadway, frequently patrolled and free of bandits and dangerous creatures. The dirt road leading to the mansion is wide enough for a single cart and has no traffic to speak of. There are shorter ways to get to the mansion through the forest, and you surmise that the looting parties would have avoided the heavily patrolled road. Just before you get to the sideroad that leads to the mansion, you are met by a patrol of guards from Hampton Hill.
"Ho, travelers! What is your business, please? We have heard that there are bandits hereabouts."

Sam rides a bit ahead of the party and greets the guards.
"Good day, gentlemen! It is good to see a diligent city watch!
We are here at the behest of Learah Relight to help investigate the disappearance of her uncle, the mage. As you see, she has lent us the key to his house." He displays it.
"Before we search the place, is there any information that you might have that could be of assistance? It might not be obviously connected. Strangers hanging around town around the time of the disappearance, anything like that."
ooc: diplomacy +17 if applicable

First Post
Laz exited the Inn and quickly scrambled up the arm of his rock-beast once more as they headed out... a small worked foothold was all that he needed to stay atop the large sized golem and did so with apparent ease... As they left town he looked about his companions and wondered if any of them had what it took to get this mission done... He noted strength, intelligence, willpower, and inner force within most if not all present but he was not sure how well each of them would fill the 'cog' of a well oiled party with roles to be fulfilled... he wondered exactly how well each of them would get along with not only he and his rather awkward demeanor... but with the rest of the party as well... he would not trust any of them until he was assured each of them knew that numbers and watching your fellow mates back is how you got to the top of the proverbial food chain...

The guard turns to his fellow guard, the two exchange glances and nods. The guard leading the patrol says, "Yes, we know Mrs. Relight sent for help. It's such a shame what happened to the mage! The way I understand it, someone or something attacked and killed Londar and his driver along the Horrik Trade Road."
Another guard then says, "The way I heard it, the Rainbow Mage had been toying with demons, one of his spells went wrong, and he fell into the Abyss." Still another says, "No, no, no. It was another wizard who was jealous of Londar's power that had him killed."
Then the leader speaks up again, "Whatever happened to Londar, I wish you lot good luck in getting anything that he left behind. His house is full of traps and golems and things."
OOC: Don't worry, Laz!

Nilah says nothing on the road, simply moving behind Gomlar in a similar fashion to last time, attempting to appear as if nothing were amiss, and perhaps that he saw something curious between the golem's legs. He said nothing, however. He wasn't particularly fond of making an impression around those who would... protest his race of birth.
He wasn't sure whether he should trust all of his compatriots or not. He wasn't even sure if his race had been told to all of the party, Nilah only knowing that Blade and Whin would know his 'true' self. In anycase, he'd make sure no one died unless they crossed him first... and even then, he'd try to weigh their skills and essential-ness to the task at hand. He wasn't really a bad guy... just... growing up in a Lolth-worshipping Drow city in the Underdark often made people paranoid...

That may have come across more threatening than I intended it. He wouldn't necessarily outright kill someone who crossed him... it's simply be a matter of being distracted the moment that assassin came out of the shadows to take the person who crossed him, etc...
He doesn't take kindly to betrayal... who does? Also, he'll try his best to keep everyone alive and well up until someone crosses them, he just removes them from his 'watch this guy's back' list.[/sblock]
